Politics blatantly ignoring the science? It’s so wrong, and Sid Schwab has a few choice words:
. . . dammit, there are some areas in which reality — not to mention the common good — ought to trump politics, ideology, and theology. People argue, and I don’t disagree, that science isn’t the same as policy; that scientists aren’t the ones setting political agenda. Fair enough. But when science is simply ignored, redacted, or debased, then we are all the worse off.

Kevin, honey, you mean censoring, don’t you?
“Censuring” means to punish or sanction. “Censoring” means to muzzle someone from speaking freely.
Although, come to think of it, in this case it’s more or less the same thing.
Thanks for spotting the typo.
Kevin
